Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of demographic and sociological variables, depression, hypertension, diabetes diagnosis, obesity, and social distancing among the Korean baby boomers in the post-corona era on physical activity practice.

As a result of the analysis, marital status, education level, depression, and diabetes were significantly related to the recommended physical activity in both males and females, and obesity was a significant factor in female baby boomer generation members. As a result of analyzing the relative influence through the Odd Ratio, if the physical activity level is arranged in descending order compared to the reference group, men with a high school education or less, women who experienced depression, women who were obese, men who experienced depression, women who were single, women who were under high school educational women, single men, women diagnosed with diabetes, and men diagnosed with diabetes. Policies related to physical activity should be promoted based on the results of this study. In the clinical field, it is necessary to first look at whether there is a mental illness in the process of establishing an exercise prescription strategy tailored to the baby boomer generation. Phenomenological studies related to the physical activity preference and restriction factors of the baby boomer generation should also be carried out in consideration of disease morbidity and sociological factors.
